      Pray Them to Heaven . Some ask why God takes people from their loved ones so soon. I believe He takes no one but receives them when they arrive home. We feel helpless when a loved one dies who doesn't believe that the one God is their God, and Jesus is their savior. We grieve when we lose the loved one. If we are Christian, but our loved one isn't, our grief may double. We grieve over their passing and we grieve because we may not see them in Heaven. We think we must be in control of everything, but we can't stop our friend or loved one from dying. It has to be someone's fault. So . . . we blame God. This small book is my testimony of what the Lord gave me-a process to pray them to the gate of Heaven. Let me tell you of my experience, so you may grieve no more.
